My first blog

Testing...Testing...

Okay, as this is my first ever blog, I shall attempt to keep it simple. I hope that this will become the epicentre for my thoughts and discoveries on my life and new experiences.  The catalyst that made me start this venture in the first place was my acceptance onto the JET Programme.  I've only told a handful of people so far but everyone else will find out soon enough :D

I'm not keen on using Facebook so this will be my alternative method of communicating with my friends and family (this and skype so get your webcams out!).

It's gone 9pm on Wednesday 20th April and I feel like there's an awful lot to do before I fly out to Japan. I'm anxious and excited but mostly anxious. If I don't get my paperwork out on time and lose my place, I'm heading out to teach in Spain instead!
If this blogging malarkey works, I shall endeavour to keep it up :) For now, I bid you adieu x
